RAYS OF THE SUPREME ALL-POWER

Meher Baba

Let us just take as an example that the sun is God. The sun is
not God, it is gas. Let us say it is God: infinite power, infinite
bliss, infinite knowledge. It is all there in the sun.

Those on the mental sphere are near the sun and they directly
receive the rays of the sun. Those in the subtle world are a bit
further off. The rays of knowledge and bliss are filtered through
the mental sphere and only the residue is received by those in the
subtle sphere. The gross world is very far off. It is so thick, so
crude. Only the last traces of infinite bliss and knowledge come
through to the gross world. Those in the subtle plane receive less
of my rays. Those on the gross plane receive just a trace of my
infinite power, bliss and knowledge.

In the mental plane rays of infinite knowledge are received
directly and those on this plane know the minds and thoughts of
everyone. The rays of infinite knowledge when they strike on the
mental plane are received directly by the saints, walis. The
knowledge is now converted into knowing the thoughts of gross and
subtle minds. In the sun, infinite knowledge knows everything as
God. In the mental plane, rays of that infinite knowledge make
known the minds of all.

When they percolate to the subtle, those on the subtle planes
know the mind of those who are associated with them. The same
infinite knowledge from the sun, coming through the mental, subtle
and striking the gross, gives mind, intelligence, the power of
reason, logic and all that is associated with the mind. So this
gross human mind which is so powerful and able to think and act,
to invent so many things, that is able to imagine anything  is
really nothing but a trickle of that infinite knowledge of the sun.

Now no more! It is already giving me a headache. Ben says,
"Baba, relax!" [Ben did not say anything.]

Beryl, see: This gross human mind which can invent, imagine,
think anything, can't know the minds of others. But the mentally
conscious human mind can know the minds of all. It is so powerful,
it can even raise from the dead a body that has been dust for
years. It has happened before.

This power that is received is the rays of the Supreme All-Power
that is the sun, is God. Here rays from the sun can raise
the dead; and I repeat, the mental, subtle and gross worlds are
all phenomena, illusion. There is no reality but God. All else is
illusion. So raising the dead, giving sight to the blind are but
tamasha, the farce.
